MACHIN3tools is a free collection of Blender tools and pie menus in continuous improvement, released as a single customizable package. It’s aimed at streamlining all the common and mostly basic Blender tasks, rather than just a rearrangement of the native Blender tools. It only works with Blender 3.0+ now.
As a convenient menu tools collection package specially designed for Blender, MACHIN3tools includes a variety of Blender tools and pie menus in a single customizable package, which is the same as the shortcut menu display of Maya and Mudbox. It can help us be more efficient when modeling with Blender. Many functions in it support keyboard shortcuts, and support user-defined shortcuts, which makes work more convenient.
In a nutshell, MACHIN3tools is a fast modeling feature plug-in specifically for Blender. It provides users with a rich set of small functional components, can efficiently perform various tasks like point/line/face processing, alignment, mirroring, grouping, subdivision, shaders, deformation, etc., greatly improving the efficiency of users’ modeling and rendering. Most of these tools are accessed via keyboard shortcuts, which can be adjusted in the plug-in preferences. Others can be accessed via the context menu of object mode or edit mode.
